Sure, you should be able to find places for getting stuff dyed (all risks of them doing a half-bad job included). But the real difficulty is in finding a gown already structured like the couture number pictured above, no? Hard stuff to find.

Does anybody do ombre the other way around? Seems like it would be a lot more flattering to have some color near one's face. Or maybe it doesn't matter because a real woman wouldn't look like the corpse-like model in this pic?

you could look in your area for dress designers (not wedding designers but dress designers/makers), maybe there is an art/fashion school near you. check out some portfolios and see who has the aesthetic you are looking for and see what they can do?

sorry if you were hoping for it, but there isn't an easy replica for this one, you may need to look more out of the bridal box since it's not a typical gown. rent the runway?
